" This High School Musical sweetheart sits down with CosmoGirl to share off-camera cast secrets, reminisce about her rather unorthodox high school days, and reveal what she can now check off of her life&amp;#039;s to-do list! WHAT WAS IT LIKE COMING BACK TOGETHER AS A CAST FOR HSM3? I saw Monique [Coleman], Ashley [Tisdale], and Vanessa [Hudgens] because we took the same plane over. It was great to see everyone, just to see what their successes have been and to catch up. It&amp;#039;s like a family. And it&amp;#039;s great to have everyone back in one location, just to be like, &amp;quot;Hey, you want to work out?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;No.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Get up!&amp;quot; Me and Ash have a routine every morning. We work out a lot together. We do a lot of Jamba Juice runs. My personal trainer gave me a whole thing of what to do to get myself fit, so Ashley and I have been using some of her suggestions.  WHAT&amp;#039;S BEEN THE BEST PART OF YOUR HSM EXPERIENCE? One experience that I know I wouldn&amp;#039;t have ever had is just being in a musical. I wasn&amp;#039;t ever going to go to Broadway. But now I kind of am \u2014 funny how that worked out! Just being in a recording studio and recording my voice. Having amazing musical producers sitting there and helping me hit the notes right, telling me what to do. I would&amp;#039;ve never had that opportunity. So, that&amp;#039;s definitely something that I was like, Oh, check that off my checklist of things to do before I die \u2014 I definitely accomplished that one! ANY FUN BEHIND-THE-SCENES MOMENTS TO SHARE? During the second one, we&amp;#039;d always hang out in the pool and the hot tub and there were bats flying around. I remember me and Mo running across the sidewalk because the bats would swoop toward where the light was. You&amp;#039;d get a bat literally inches away from your face. When you&amp;#039;re in the hot tub, the little lights will attract them but they can&amp;#039;t really see you because they&amp;#039;re blind. And during the first one, I took a bunch of people that had never even been in a cave and people that were claustrophobic \u2014 and took them spelunking. It&amp;#039;s not like a cave that you walk into. It&amp;#039;s flat ground and there&amp;#039;s a hole that you actually have to go down into. You&amp;#039;re on your stomach and the wall&amp;#039;s squishing you. So you slide through and then it opens up \u2014 it&amp;#039;s gorgeous. We had the little helmet flashlights. We dropped one into an endless abyss! IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU REGRET NOT HAVING DONE IN HIGH SCHOOL? Going to a football game and graduating with my class \u2014 I should&amp;#039;ve bought a cap and gown. I kind of missed the concept. I was so busy working, getting scholarships, and taking AP classes. My parents were also out of the country and they&amp;#039;re my only family in America. My brother was in Iraq and my parents were in Russia, so I was like, &amp;quot;Who&amp;#039;s even going to come to my graduation?!&amp;quot; But it&amp;#039;s cool because we&amp;#039;re graduating in High School Musical 3 and I never got to walk in my graduation. Even though I missed out on reality, I get to relive that with a bunch of people that I love anyway, so I&amp;#039;m excited.  WHERE ARE YOUR FAVORITE PLACES IN THE WORLD YOU&amp;#039;VE BEEN? I&amp;#039;ve been to London twice. I saw the Broadway show Billy Elliot there \u2014 phenomenal. I was crying through the entire thing. The next day was our European premiere, and guess who walks into our green room? Billy Elliot! And I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;quot;Oh, my gosh, it&amp;#039;s Billy Elliot!&amp;quot; And he&amp;#039;s like, &amp;quot;Oh, my gosh, it&amp;#039;s High School Musical!&amp;quot; It was like a completely different parallel. He&amp;#039;s like 9 and I&amp;#039;m this 22-year-old girl freaking him out. I was like, &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t wait until you grow up! I&amp;#039;m going to watch your career!&amp;quot; And he&amp;#039;s all like, &amp;quot;Crazy lady, thanks for making High School Musical.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
